Whitetail Tenderloin...

[Guy Miner]

Last season my son shot a pretty fat whitetail buck, and we've been enjoying good meat from it ever since. Have been saving the tenderloins in the freezer - until now... They're marinating, and I'm planning to cook 'em on the stovetop this evening, cut into little steaks... Mmmmmm. Will update later! I'm salivating, just thinking about tonight's meal!

Fine dining for sure, Guy. Noah and I enjoyed whitetail tenderloin a few weeks back while grandma was absent. We dined like kings! :grin:

Man, that's about as good as it get for a good feed! I love me some tenderloin.

You're supposed to share.

At least post a picture of the delicacy so we may savor it vicariously.

I had every intention of posting a photo... Both sons were home, my wife and I opened a bottle of wine, all four of us were in the kitchen, laughing, kidding each other, dicing onions & mushrooms & peppers. I was slicing the tenderloin into little steaks... Wow. It was a lot of fun. Then we all sat down and gobbled up that delicious whitetail!

If whitetail weren't meant to be hunted, they wouldn't taste so good!

Didn't even snap a photo. We were having too much fun.

And that's where it's at! Way to go, sir.

Finished it off with a duplicate meal tonight. Same two sons, same wife, good food and a fresh bottle of red.

Ahhhhh... Good stuff.

[Guy Miner]

You're right...

Sorry!

I can sympathize, Guy. I grilled a backstrap Monday evening, did not take pics. Thin-sliced the remainder today and had a sandwich and a few slices dipped in spicy mustard. Still no pics. But man, was it good! I took the easy route on mine, just slathering it with a sesame-ginger-teriyaki concoction, then wrapping it in bacon. Grilled it to medium, pulled it from the grill, tented it under foil, and parked it for a little while in the warming drawer. Opened a bottle of Castle Rock Pinot Noir, made and ate salads, then had venison and brown rice. I love to hear the kids ask for seconds!

Lunch today was simple. Sliced it thin, put it on good honey wheat bread, with the bacon scraps, some horseradish mustard and sharp cheddar cheese, and then finished off the remaining slices (not enough for another sandwich...) with some honey mustard dip to change things up. I'd have added a slice of tomato and some lettuce to the sandwich, but we were out, and I did not have time to get to the store.

Sorry for the lack of pictures. They pretty well looked like this batch from earlier this year, though, if it helps:

Man, that looks darned good Dub!

You guys make me hungry. I can't usually wait that long for marinate and such I just butterly place in a cast iron skillet with hot grease and fry till medium done and make good rich brown gravy out of the browns left in the skillet to poor over mashed potatoes.

Marinated backstrap cooked whole over mesquite is flat out amazing!!

Just a few weeks away until we get some fresh meat!

Cutting elk this afternoon. Mama and I may be using the grill this evening. Backstrap may be on the menu.

 

[Guy Miner]

mmmmm good!

I wished there were an icon to show someone rubbing the above in! Man, that sounds really good.

CCOKER, your right, backstrap over a good fire is just about as good a food as I have ever tasted!
